James Cameron's space blockbuster pulls in £4.3 million on its eighth week of release to march past the Abba musical's £69 million box office haul. Avatar has now grossed nearly £72 million in the UK since opening in December.
The Princess And The Frog, Disney's return to hand-drawn animation, is in second place after expanding its release outside of London. Animation Astro Boy and Clint Eastwood's Nelson Mandela drama Invictus follow at numbers three and four respectively.
Michael Cera's Youth In Revolt is a new entry at seven, while last week's runner-up Alvin And The Chipmunks: The Squeakquel slides six places to number eight.
This Friday sees the release of The Wolfman, Percy Jackson And The Lightning Thief and Valentine's Day, all of which will be hoping to end Avatar's chart dominance.
